Kyle and Smith would be the suspect 3 point shooters. So a direct copy of the Boston offense isn’t likely - especially if we can’t get a Horford level 5. And I think the portal 5 will determine if we can play 5 out or 4 out. Regardless we do have enough shooting already to space the floor as...

If you think about it, it would be surprising if he didn’t do commit to be able to look around as well as be recruited by Georgia Tech. I know I would if I were him

I was already expecting a good bit of roster turnover. Just hope some of the fat leaves along with the muscle part. Gives Damon roster spots to work with

If he is given leeway, I expect we will see more roster turnover than just a post player

I would be really surprised if Damon isn't making legit money for assistants and a lot of focus on NIL conditions for him coming. He has been around the game long enough to know that and has enough leverage to say I'll just stay with the Celtics if we don't.

I agree with line one but will pick at line 2 just a bit. I would contend it isn't just "might as well" get behind him - I think there are good reasons for this being a very solid hire that should get our support as such. IOW hoping for more enthusiasm (and giving :) ) than would come across...

On the surface I like this. Want to see terms, etc. But he has the gravitas from the league to both put us in front of players in the local scene and know how to coach BB. I am optimistic he is enough of a "name" to help move the NIL contributions forward. I don't expect lottery guys any...

I would take Mack. Think LV was an outlier And easy to know if he was interested before firing Pastner :)

The comment was they are "well on their way" to the $3M goal. Not much beyond that. I would expect the goal is to keep a $3M war chest but I don't recall that being mentioned specifically. As a speculation extension :), Batt just finished a coaching search without the NIL infrastructure in...

Screwed this format up. Interview with the guy who runs the Tech Way NIL site said we were on track to have the 3 million average amount for a P5 team but we were not there yet. It may be as simple as we need another year to get to the 3 million average level which Batt thinks he needs to...

I saw Memphis under Pastner a couple of times and I did not see them run any offensive set anything near the Princeton set we run now. Nothing I saw was as structured as the princeton

When they say "not fully funded" at Cal does that mean they don't fund all 13 ships? That generally is what that means in other contexts. :oops:

IMHO the bigger mistake was setting up an offense that focused on a weak link at the 5 spot instead of the strength of the team that are the guards/wings. Even when Franklin played the 5 in the original offense he was generally swallowed up by bigger/longer 5's in a crowded lane. It wasn't...

We could do worse Need a center with length though :)

Pastner is a lot of things. Lazy ain’t one of them

Totally agree. I was just putting forward Batt may already believe even a strong start won’t rescue the business side and he needs a new face If he has the financing to execute

That business crushing MAY be what does him in. IF there is money to fund a legit new regime, then the potential for increased attendance with a shiny new name will be a strong attraction FWIW I have no idea if the major donors are ready to write more checks

I think it is coaching but not in the player development angle being discussed. I go back to ESPN's comment that the spacing is much better the last several games. Specifically, we have gone away from the tight to the lane pin down handoff screen by the big to a guard going to the top of the...

If we don’t get away from switching that first screen with the big and guard, so Smith has to guard the big in the paint, I’m gonna start throwing things at my brand new TV. 😒

Grant Basile (transfer) has become their primary frontcourt presence. Averages 16 for the year but comes into this game with back to back 33 point performances. Not a traditional 5 as he plays from the 3 point line in. Have to guard him pretty much everywhere. They normally run a lot of...
